About Us
I Technology
The Science Dictionary is a customized online web service, which provides highly refined science information through a specialized Google CSE search engine. All search queries processed through our website is first run through the hierarchy network of millions of scientific websites located within The Science Dictionary’s database. Next, Google’s unique CSE search engine, creates a specialized search function using the database’s information, and conducts a specialized search within parameters set by The Science Dictionary. In the end, a list of all scientific websites, pages, and articles related to the current search query is produced dynamically, on-the-fly and displayed on the results page.
II Our Mission
The mission of The Science Dictionary, is to create a searchable database containing all verified, and professional scientific sources into one large database. This will allow better and more accurate research papers, as well as simplify the process for finding reliable data sources. Furthermore, The Science Dictionary, is aiming towards creating a strictly scientific encyclopedia of professional, open-content articles. These articles can then be cited in research papers, which will again simplify the process for finding reliable scientific data sources. Finally, another minor goal of The Science Dictionary is to prove, the “experts” wrong. After much harsh criticism about our name choice, The Science Dictionary wants to prove that even though, we have a hard to remember name, we can easily still be just as successful as the other guys with easy to remember names.
III Live Green
The Science Dictionary is all for going green. Going green means a better planet, and a better lifestyle. In fact, starting from October ‘09, we are going to be buying in carbon offsets* in order to make sure that all of the energy our servers use will be covered with 100% non polluting and green energy. This means that in the near future, all aspects of this website will be completely greened.
